The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!: Volume 1, Disc 1 2006 FULL DVD

Distributor: Shout! Factory
Release date: March 28, 2006
Description on the back cover:
“In 1989, the two most famous plumbers from Brooklyn burst out of the Nintendo® game world and onto television screens across America. THE SUPER MARIO BROS.® SUPER SHOW! aired weekday afternoons and brought Mario®, Luigi®, Princess Toadstool®, and King Koopa® more thrilling adventures as animated cartoon characters.
And if that weren’t enough, each episode also contained live-action segments featuring Mario and Luigi running their Brooklyn plumbing shop - all before they were flushed down a drainpipe into the Mushroom World. With professional wrestler Captain Lou Albano as Mario, Danny Wells as Luigi, plus a strong rock ‘n’ rap score, the show attracted guest stars like pop sensation Cyndi Lauper, professional wrestler Sgt. Slaughter, Danica McKellar from THE WONDER YEARS, NBA superstar Magic Johnson, and Nichole Eggert from BAYWATCH.
These 24 original episodes, complete with animation and live-action segments, plus the special features, will convince you…
‘Hangin’ with the plumbers, you’ll be hooked on the brothers…’”
OPENING:
1.) FBI warning
2.) Shout! Factory logo (2003-15)
3.) “Greetings from the Shout! Factory Trailer Collection” screen
4.) Freaks and Geeks: The Complete Series DVD promo (why this is on a DVD release of a children’s series, I have no idea)
5.) The Electric Company: The Best of The Electric Company DVD commercial (featuring that-one-black-comedian-who-shall-not-be-named)
6.) DiC Home Entertainment logo (2001-08) (unused during normal playback, but can be found as a file on all four discs; in the file that the logo is attached to on disc 1; it plays right before the Legend of Zelda animated series DVD promo, so that’s where I decided to place it at while editing this video; I assume it was dropped on account of the set including trailers for shows not made by DiC)
7.) The Legend of Zelda: The Complete Animated Series (basically leftover episodes of the Super Show! with different cartoons in them) DVD ad
8.) Main menu
EPISODES INCLUDED:
1.) “The Bird! The Bird!” (live-action segment: “Neatness Counts”)
2.) “Butch Mario and the Luigi Kid” (live-action segment: “All Steamed Up”)
3.) “King Mario of Cramalot” (live-action segment: “Day of the Orphan”) (with the show's intro and end credits very slowed down for some odd reason; maybe to extend the length of the episode, whose print featured here is missing the Legend of Zelda cartoon teaser from the live-action segments, to the length of the other featured episodes?)
4.) “Mario’s Magic Carpet” (live-action segment: “Marianne and Luigeena”)
5.) “Rolling Down the River” (live-action segment: “Mario’s Monster Mash”)
6.) “The Great Gladiator Gig” (live-action segment: “Bonkers from Yonkers”)
CLOSING:
1.) Episode Selection and Bonus Features menus
2.) Featurette: “Interview with Captain Lou Albano (The Original Voice of Mario)”
3.) Storyboard-to-Screen Comparison - “The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!” Opening Title Sequence (specifically the first opening)
4.) “The Worlds of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!” Background Art Gallery: Part 1 (Episodes 1-6)

To keep myself from getting burnt out on making overview videos on account of covering nothing but Disney DVDs, I’ve decided to try out a little experiment in the wake of the success of my video covering Stanley: Spring Fever - I’m going to be dumping full DVD releases of shows that I know can be uploaded onto KZbin without getting into any copyright trouble, with the vast majority of those programs being owned by WildBrain and/or Corus Entertainment. By popular vote, the first of the shows I’m covering is the infamous but unintentionally hilarious vintage video game adaptation produced by DiC Entertainment (whose library is now owned by WildBrain), The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, in anticipation of Mario and Luigi’s upcoming big screen outing’s release into theaters on April 7, 2023! So far, I currently only own one DVD release of the Super Show!, but it’s one of the two best ones you can find: the first 4-disc volume box set from everybody’s favorite independently-owned home video distributor, Shout! Factory. Unlike most of the other studios who have held the home video rights to DiC’s cartoons over the years (most infamously Mill Creek Entertainment), Shout! Factory took the time to create some sweet bonus features to complement the shows they put on the format. Oddly, this set decided to put all the non-episode-specific bonus features on the first disc, rather than the final disc like most DVD releases of TV shows do. Thus, those extras will be featured here, but since they cover episodes that aren’t seen until the later discs of this set, avoid watching them if you haven’t already seen the Super Show!’s first 24 (non-Legend of Zelda) episodes. Unfortunately, Shout! Factory lost the home video rights to DiC’s shows in 2012, and Cookie Jar Entertainment (the owner of the studio at the time) decided to transfer those full rights to Mill Creek and NCircle Entertainment (the latter of whom would get bought up by Mill Creek in 2021). This set later got reprinted by NCircle in 2013, but that version cut out all the live-action segments and the first of the show’s two openings, even though the bonus features covering the live-action segments were left intact, in order to cut down the disc number from four to two. I’ll be covering each disc in Shout! Factory’s release of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!: Volume 1 DVD set in their own individual video. I’ll also be alternating between tackling that set’s contents AND what’s included on my DVD releases of the other shows listed on the poll that the Super Show! won (going from most to least votes), so again, I won’t get burnt out tackling too much of the same thing at once.

It’s crazy how a professional WWF wrestler plays Mario.

[@andykishore]

Now we get to have that show's live-action segments on KZbin in good quality.

[@itsjayden8002]

You deserve a Nobel Peace Prize just for uploading this

[@jason-dvd-walktroughs]

I think that's exaggerating this upload's importance a little too far, but I do appreciate the compliment!

[@80sDisneyFan]

I like my NCircle DVDs of the show but it's a shame that they cut out the live-action stuff.

I remember watching the Super Mario Bros super show when I was a kid.

[@Ninja_4561]

King Mario of Cramalot is actually the Family Channel version, which was weirdly slowed down to fit the timeslot, plus some other minor edits (like extra commercial fadeouts)

[@jason-dvd-walktroughs]

Interesting. I'm assuming that the original broadcast master was tossed out by Disney by the time DiC Entertainment was bought back from them by its founder Andy Hayward in 2001. A lot of modern home video releases of DiC's older shows suffer from problems regarding presentation and edits that could have been avoided if Disney wasn't so negligent towards the studio when they had ownership of it.

[@Ninja_4561]

@Jason’s DVD Openings and Menu Showcases! They also probably lost the master for the live-action segment George Washington Slept Here. It's not on the Shout DVDs, and the official WildBrain KZbin upload of its animated episode (The Unzappables) uses footage from Club Mario instead. Someone at DiC apprently hated Club Mario so much that they ordered all tapes of it to be destroyed, but maybe there was a mix-up involving that episode is particular?

[@jason-dvd-walktroughs]

@@Ninja_4561 I have read elsewhere that the actual reason why the digital releases of "The Unzappables" use its Club Mario segments is because "George Washington Slept Here" suffers from the same music licensing issues that caused the pop tunes that played in the original prints of the Super Show!'s cartoon segments to get replaced by stock tracks from the show on home video releases, except that in this case, editing out the licensed songs would butcher the episode to the point of incomprehensibility. To prove this has merit, there are three other episodes of the Super Show! that were ALSO missing their live-action segments on the Shout! Factory DVDs because DiC wasn't able to find the original masters on time. However, once they were dug up after the Cookie Jar buyout, those three episodes were released with the live-action segments intact on Netflix and Tubi, then uploaded this way to KZbin by WildBrain after that company bought up Cookie Jar.

No I heard thank

[@MarkPiccolo]

The old good days 😢😢😢❤❤❤ sweet memory lane

[@itsjoshua2508]

I have a Super Show dvd called "The Best of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show". It Features 9 episodes with the live-action scenes cut.

[@jason-dvd-walktroughs]

Woah, it really IS a small world after all! (Pardon the reference if you don't like the song it's referring to.) I used to own that same DVD when I was little, but got rid of it once I bought the Shout! Factory box set of the Super Show! that's sampled in the video you just watched. Funny story about that "Best of" release: when I was seven years old, I thought I was hallucinating when I watched "Two Plumbers and a Baby" on the DVD and saw the infamous DOUBLE animation error of Luigi's hat being colored red like Mario's instead of green, AND Luigi's voice coming out of Mario's mouth. Then, I checked out the same episode on the Shout! Factory set, and realized said error was indeed real. It was the first time I ever noticed an animation error on a cartoon, but somehow, I didn't catch the many, many OTHER animation errors on the Super Show! and DiC's other Mario cartoons until rewatching them years later.

[@TheOfficialWassim2K4]

Hi, is your DVD player region-free by any chance? I'd like to see if you have any Oggy and the Cockroaches DVD releases by North Video, a Czech home video distribution company, and those DVDs are the only high-quality releases of seasons 1, 2 and 3.

[@RareSun]

Just realized the Super Show was 17 in 2006 and 2006 is 17 now
